True, but in the UK, those two are both free on one year contracts (and with
additional cashback in some cases).

From what I have heard so far it is not all that good of a phone.

I would suggest that you have heard wrong then!!!

Granted, it's not got all of the bells and whistles that some of its
competitors have, but it is an excellent phone!!

I don't care about the bells and whistles at all. The reception is not where
it should be.

Hang on a minute. In your last post you said "I've heard", and now you're
stating that you find the reception to be not that good. Now either you
have the phone or you don't. If you don't, then you're not really in a
position to comment.

As for me, I find the V3 no worse than any other phone, and better than most
for reception.

I got one of these free from O2 two days after they were released. It has good and bad points. Best
things are style and size worst is slow response to keypresses and glitchy firmware. Lack of decent
memory space/card slot and no video taking capability are a pain so is no IRDA. It is more robust
than it looks, mine having been used in a buiolding site environment for the last 5 months and
still going strong. The software has crashed about a dozen times.

It's a good phone ya, but it is basically just a V600 in a more nice housing
with a very high price tag, now if we were talking of the V635, then we are
talking excellent phone!

Note that it is not really a rebate, it is a $150 Amazon credit. Basically
Amazon is returning their kickback from Cingular.
